Rediscover The Bible

Have you wanted to read the Bible but never found the time? Or did you try reading it but gave up because it was di cult and confusing? Are you looking for a guide to enrich your present understanding? This book is for you! It is a journey through the whole Bible, Genesis to Revelation, with lively commentary and personal application-a daily reader that can be used as a personal devotional, a group study, or a resource for teaching.
By investing about 15 minutes a day for one year, you'll see how the Bible's themes of Creation, Fall, Redemption and New Creation speak to the questions and longings of the human heart.
e Bible continues to be the best-selling book in the world every year. Rediscovering its hopeful message-or discovering it for the first time-will help bring you closer to God, your Creator, and discover your purpose in life.
This book is formatted into 365 daily readings of about twelve minutes (or longer if the full biblical text is read). This takes the reader through the whole Bible, Genesis to Revelation, in one year. The daily readings follow the format of the Daily Walk Bible in the New Living Translation, published by Tyndale. The reader will benefit most by reading the designated chapters, but the daily readings also stand on their own.
Each day begins with a key text taken from the chapters covered. A summary of the text follows, with commentary. The commentary is meant to move the story along and connect the dots between the daily text and the Big Story. Sometimes I insert myself into the commentary, reacting as you might react to what is going on in the story. The insertion may contain humor, disgust, questions or observations-in sympathy with you, the reader.
Following the commentary, I include a short section, called "Focus" where I drill a little deeper on something from the daily reading. Finally, there is a brief prayer you may use for devotional purposes.
One more feature: Every seven days, there is a break in the commentary, and the reading of the day is an elaboration on an important subject or a common question about the Bible's story. This is entitled, "Reflection."
I am hopeful that this book will encourage readers everywhere to rediscover the Bible, or discover it for the first time. There is a reason why the Bible continues to be the best-selling book in the world: It is indeed the greatest story ever told. There is nothing like it. We read it and then discover that it reads us. It describes life as we know it. It speaks to our minds and hearts in a self-authenticating way. Its great themes of Creation, Fall, Redemption and New Creation resonate with us. It calls us to faith. It moves us to worship and thanksgiving. It inspires us to acts of goodness, beauty, truth, justice, and compassion. Above all, it reveals how passionately our Creator loves us and desires to be with us forever and ever! Amen!
